The Kitchen Corner Twin Sweater Set For The Young Fry
Maybe you could cook a meal by
candlelight if you had to. Not so
very long ago, standard lighting
equipment was a kerosene lamp.
Personally, I wouldn’t recommend
either method of illumination. In
fact, even one central electric fix
ture is now regarded as entirely
inadequate. In addition, fixtures
are needed at the range, reffig-
erator, sink and work counter.
The general ideai is to keep you
from working in you own shadow,
no matter where you stand.
For general illumination a cen
tral fixture is still required. It
may be semi-direct, semi-indirect,
or entirely indirect type of fix
ture. The bulb should never be
less than 100 watts, and for a
kitchen of about 10x12 feet a 150
watt lamp is recommended.
If you are going to remodel your
kitchen, wall-bracket type of fix
ture may be installed at the sink
and range, but in your new stream
lined kitchen the lights will be
built-in at these places as well as
over the work areas.
Tricks To Shorten Working Hours
1. The most important trick is I
to develop a schedule that will re
duce the amount of time you spend
in housekeeping, as well as the [
amount of effort.
2. You’ve probably thought of I
this before: to cut hours spent at
the ironing board, buy clothes that
don’t need ironing, such as knit
ted shirts and underwear, denims |
and corduroys.
3. If you are lucky enough to I
have one of the new automatic
washing machines, you can use it
to do your “hand washing.” Watch
the temperature of the water and
use care in selecting the proper
soap. Even rayon hose can be done f
safely this way.
4. Some clothes can be hung on I
hangers to dry and then placed in |
the closet without being ironed.
In this category are flannel shirts]
and seersucker dresses.
5. Use paper napkins and place I
mats to reduce your weekly washj
considerably.
